Photos on setup issues are a good idea. There are a goodly number of variables in brake setup, as well as perceived feelings. But, there's really no inherent reason why you should get vibration from longer arm brakes. It certainly _can_ happen with some setupsThere was a long set of discussions in some of the other groups about the flexing of certain types of hangers for canti brake setups - those can (under CX race conditions and other high load stopping conditions) flex/deflex creating a front brake shudder. If you've ever felt that, you would not describe it as "slight", so I don't think it's what you are experiencing.
Is the vibration speed-dependent? In other words, is it much worse when you increase speed or load? When you say "forward rocking" is it pulsing? Is it a new rim? To troubleshoot, I'd double check the brake shoe alignment and check the rim surface. I'd also check the brake mounting itself so see if something is shifting when the brake is applied. My Hilsen has long reach Silvers. I'm in the 190 pound range and definitely carry gear on the bike. But, haven't felt that kind of vibration. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
